J. N. Chamberlain
Best known for a small photographic souvenir of Gay Head on Martha’s Vineyard, this elusive author is associated with a vivid late-19th-century picture book rather than a well-documented public life.

Souvenir of Gay Head: Indelible Photographs

About the author
Very little reliable biographical information about J. N. Chamberlain appears to be readily available online. The clearest confirmed attribution is to Souvenir of Gay Head: Indelible Photographs, a short illustrated work preserved by Project Gutenberg.
That book presents views of Gay Head, now known as Aquinnah, on Martha’s Vineyard, suggesting an interest in local scenery, tourism, and photographic reproduction. Because trustworthy sources do not seem to provide more about Chamberlain’s life, background, or dates, it is best to treat the author as a little-documented figure known primarily through this surviving publication.
